Trivia Pursuit

[Jonny Nexus]

Who/what is character Thomas O'Malley and what movie is he from?

Isn't that a Disney cartoon one with the cats? The Aristocats or something? Can't remember exactly (and I'm not going to Google because that would be cheating).

...and I suspect I've got it totally wrong.

TW got it right, so the current question involves the island.

TW got it right, so the current question involves the island.

I'm still holding on Long Island... I mean it's pretty big big... Unless [hedging] it's that big one in the lake on the Hudson river upper New York / Vermont / New Hampshire way...

Ah, another music lover, apparently. And here I figured that would stump everyone.

Well, I was a music major for a couple years till lack of self-confidence scared me into English. It's just one of those names that sticks.

 

[Trainz]

Hawaii ?

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Well if I was guessing - which I am - I'd say Long Island.

On the wild off-chance that I'm right, how many faces does Big Ben have?

Correctamundo.

Big Ben? I'm thinking trick question, so I'm gonna say one.

Big Ben? Big old square tower - doesn't it have four faces?

I'm a Londoner, so I'll be dreadfully embarrassed if I've got that wrong!

 

[Tallok]

Isn't big ben technically just the bell inside?

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Isn't big ben technically just the bell inside?

I think that's technically true, although the whole clock tower seems to be called Big Ben colloquially.

And I just found out it has four clock faces, so randomling gets to pick the next question.

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

Who is considered the Father of electronic music?

Edgar Varese? I would have thought Jean-Michel Jarre. Oh well. So the current question is about what again?
